Mathematics Doctoral Prize

The Mathematics Doctoral Prizes are given annually to recognize the achievement of graduating doctoral students in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. Three prizes are awarded with values of $1,500 for first place, $1,000 for second place, and $500 for third place. Recipients are selected by a committee within the Faculty of Mathematics based on nominations received for consideration of the Governor General's Gold Medal in March. The award is paid against the student's last registered term. The first-place recipient is the doctoral nominee who the Faculty of Mathematics submits for institutional consideration for the Governor General's Gold Medal of the same year, while the second and third-place recipients are selected based on the Faculty's ranked order of the nominees. Each Department or School within the Faculty may nominate up to two students, and no separate nomination package is required beyond the Governor General's Gold Medal nomination.
